After breakfast, you will begin a circumnavigation of Daphne Mayor, a volcanic islet located north of Santa Cruz. As you sail around this impressive formation, you’ll observe its steep cliffs and eroded slopes, which serve as nesting sites for a variety of seabirds such as blue-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, and red-billed tropicbirds. Though landings are not permitted, the surrounding waters often offer sightings of marine life, including rays, sea turtles, and occasionally dolphins.
Finally, your trip ends at Baltra Airport.
